Hi Andrew
It’s a piece I’ve played many times, very differently each time. Here’s a short film documenting a performance from 10 years ago https://vimeo.com/22601541
The score consists of notes and suggestions for a performance, most likely written after the event I imagine, the event being a performance by Cage and Tudor. The words scattered across the page suggest manipulations of, additions to and variations upon a performance of the Music for Piano set. There’s a bunch of different recordings out there, each quite distinct.
For my performances the elements that generally feature, other than the Music for Piano pieces themselves, are recorded performances overlayed upon the live performance, very high and very low sounds, and distortion. The performance from 10 years ago featured in the video also included a lot of mixing of live sounds from different rooms in the gallery I was playing in, which featured Cage’s visual art works as part of the Hayward touring exhibition in 2010.

Hello Dear Silencers

What Do You All Know “About Electronic Music For Piano”?

I have just stumbled across a a recording by Tania Chen, and found that Peters publishes a score by that name.

It seems Stockholm, and Music for Piano 8-84 are involved, along with a dedication to David Tudor.

Beyond that I know nothing.

Love to All
